What Is The Juyukai?
The JuYuKai is built around the philosophy of mutual respect and life-long learning where striking, throwing, and grappling are the actions you perform to help you practice that philosophy.
The training is conducted in an environment that encourages learning through live training in a safe and constructive manner.

Rules
-
- The JuYuKai is a private group – no drop-ins, invitation only.
- Train hard, but if you’re too rough, you’re gone.
- Train for longevity, not for competition.
- Study concepts and universal movement patterns over techniques.
- Problem-solve through timed “drills” (selective tension positional sparring with specific goal)
- Always protect yourself and your partner.
- Train as much as you can but always at your own pace.
- If you have an injury, work around it. If you’re sick, don’t show up.
- Open and honest communication between members.
- Clean body, clean clothes, clean mats, clean mind.
- No “1-2-3 Clap” or saying “OSS!”
- Do your warm-ups, calisthenics, and strength work outside of class.
- No bowing to a photo.
- Trust in the process.
- Have fun.
